SERMONS WE SEE I’d rather see a sermon, than hear one any day; I’d rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way. The eye’s a better pupil and more willing than the ear; Fine counsel is confusing, but example’s always clear. And the best of all the preachers are the men who [...]

They lie on the table side by side, the Holy Bible and the TV guide. One is well worn and cherished with pride, not the Bible, but the TV guide. One is used daily to help folks decide, no, not the Bible, but the TV guide. As the pages are turned, what shall they see? [...]

In the year 2009 some four million Bibles were printed and distributed in China. Since the end of the cultural revolution in 1976, the Bible has become China’s best seller. Next year, 2011, marks the 400th anniversary of the King James version of the Bible. Yet, according to the Bible Society m0ore than 4,400 languages [...]

My Bible & I We’ve travelled together through life’s rugged way, O’er land and o’er water, by night and by day; To travel without it I never would try; We keep close together, my Bible and I. In sorrow I’ve proved it my comfort and joy, When weak, my strong tower which none can destroy; [...]

God won’t ask you what kind of car you drove, but will ask how many people you drove who didn’t have transport. God won’t ask the size of your house, but will ask how many people you welcomed into your home. God won’t ask about how many clothes you have in your wardrobe, but will [...]

Prophecy Becomes Reality! The annual conference of British Assemblies of God ministers took place in 1984 when two Pentecostal leaders from the Church in the Soviet Union, were present. They gave moving accounts of the persecution and progress of the Church, behind what was then known as ‘The Iron Curtain.’ In the light of these [...]

These are the Mothers the World needs today. Mothers whose faith never wavers or falters; Mothers whose spirit the World never alters; Loving the right and scorning the wrong; Facing the problems of life, with a song. Mothers whose bravery transcends their fears; Winning the battle, with patience and tears; Never submitting to weakness or [...]

I went to a meeting held at Debden Pentecostal Church, Essex, UK, where Peter Cavanna from Cambridge was the speaker. This was in May 2006. I had been having trouble with my knees for many years and had an appointment to see the specialist about my right knee. When I was prayed for at the [...]

What various hindrances we meet in coming to the Mercy Seat! Yet who that knows the worth of prayer but wishes to be often there? Prayer makes the darkening clouds withdraw, prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw, Gives exercise to faith and love, brings every blessing from above. Restraining prayer, we cease to fight; prayer [...]

Some wrapped in self-regard or greed, Have little time to stay, To hearken to the urgent need Of those met on their way. Whilst others with true loving care Discover if they can Perchance another’s burden share Spare time for fellow man. So oft our Lord Himself was stirred By someone’s urgent plea To heal, [...]

I almost went to church last night but could not find the time. So much to do about the house, to leave would be a crime. So I sewed and I dusted and polished, and went wearily to bed, But I made a resolution to go next week instead. I almost went to church last [...]

WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR? What! Go to my neighbour? You’ve got to be kidding! That woman’s a menace, an absolute bore. And he’s not much better: you’d need all Job’s patience If you had the neighbours I’m stuck with, living next door. And the people behind us are really the limit Their taste is appalling, [...]

The apostle Paul wrote thse words from a prison cell to the disciples at Philippi: I have learned how to live when I am poor, and I know how to live when I have plenty. I have learned the secret of being happy at any time in everything that happens. So had a leper in [...]

He left His Father’s throne in Heaven A servant to become, He was not born in an ivory palace But as a carpenter’s son. He made Himself of no repute, This was not act of God, The form of a servant He took on Himself He chose the pathway He trod. In the likeness of [...]

SPONTANEOUS BROTHERHOOD. Amid the horrors of World War 1, there occurred a unique truce when, for a few hours, enemies behaved like brothers. Christmas Eve 1914 was all quiet on the Western Front, from the English Channel to the Swiss Alps. British soldiers raised Merry Christmas signs, and soon carols were heard from German and [...]
